Unless you happen to be a kernel hacker I guess that's not much use to
you, but the old AGP drivers could probably be ported to work with the

with open drivers :)

Wow. considered

Sorry, I will shut up about it if it's such a big

It's a misunderstanding that's my fault. Your message

effect. Please continue the good fight.
What card should I buy? :)
